Tudor Pro Cycling Concludes Most Successful Giro d’Italia to Date

Three weeks of racing across Bulgaria and Italy came to an end yesterday in Rome, bringing the 2026 Giro d’Italia to a close. For Tudor Pro Cycling, competing in just its third Giro d’Italia and fourth Grand Tour overall, it marked the Team's most successful Grand Tour to date.

Arriving at the start with ambitious goals, the Team delivered the strongest Grand Tour performance to date, highlighted by 14 Top-10 stage finishes, a seventh-place overall finish for Michael Storer, and 11th place in the General Classification for Grand Tour debutant Mathys Rondel.

Tudor Pro Cycling demonstrated remarkable consistency throughout the race, collecting 14 top-10 finishes from four different riders.

The campaign started strongly in Albania, where Florian Stork delivered the Team's best result of the opening week with second place on Stage 2, missing out on the Maglia Rosa by only a handful of seconds. Luca Mozzato also showcased his sprinting speed, finishing inside the top 10 on three occasions.

As the race reached the mountains, Michael Storer and Mathys Rondel took center stage. Together, they recorded 10 top-10 stage results on climbing days, supported by the invaluable work of teammates Will Barta, Larry Warbasse, Fabian Lienhard and Robin Froidevaux.

Sports Director Matteo Tosatto reflected on the Team's performance:

“The goal was to improve Michael’s place in the general classification, ideally getting close to the Top-5. We came very close. This result is thanks to Michael’s commitment and the work the Team has put in since 2024. Mathys’ presence alongside him in the mountains was incredibly important - his 11th place overall is an impressive achievement for a rider in his first Grand Tour, and it gives us great confidence for the future. I’m also extremely proud of finishing fourth in the Team Classification - arriving in Rome with all eight riders is another achievement we can be proud of. It reflects how hard everyone, riders and staff on site and from home, worked throughout these three weeks and earlier.”

Michael Storer Delivers His Best Grand Tour Result

Starting his 11th Grand Tour and third consecutive Giro d’Italia with Tudor Pro Cycling, Michael arrived with a clear objective: improve on his previous two 10th-place finishes in the Giro’s General Classification. Mission accomplished.

The Australian rode with consistency and composure from start to finish, ultimately securing seventh place overall - his best result in a Grand Tour.

“I’m really happy with my Giro d’Italia. I approached the race one day at a time, and I think it’s the most consistent Grand Tour I’ve ever ridden. This seventh place is the best result I could achieve, and it reflects the hard work we’ve put in together as a Team over the last few years.”

Mathys Rondel Impresses on Grand Tour Debut

For Mathys Rondel, the Giro d’Italia represented a leap into the unknown. Racing his first Grand Tour, the young Frenchman embraced the challenge and emerged as one of the revelations of the race.

Mathys finished with four Top-10 stage results, including an impressive sixth place on the brutal Blockhaus. He concluded the Giro in 11th place overall and third in the Youth Classification, narrowly missing a top-10 GC finish while confirming his potential among cycling’s rising stage-race talents.

When you start a Grand Tour, especially with GC ambitions, there are so many unknowns. You have to stay mentally focused every single day, and I felt consistent throughout the race.

Reflecting on his first three-week race, Mathys said “overall, I see this Giro as a very positive experience. I gave everything I had every day. It wasn’t quite enough to reach the level I wanted or break into the Top-10, but I’m still very proud of what I achieved. There were highs, lows and plenty of unexpected situations across the three weeks, but I managed to overcome them and maintain a good level throughout the race. We learned a lot, both about what worked well and where we can continue to improve. One of the biggest lessons was simply proving to myself that I can compete over three weeks. When you start a Grand Tour, especially with GC ambitions, there are so many unknowns. You have to stay mentally focused every single day, and I felt consistent throughout the race. Mentally, you need to be incredibly strong because there are days when it would be easy to give up. This Giro pushed me beyond my limits and taught me a lot about myself.”

Another Step Forward for Tudor Pro Cycling

Although the Team's first Grand Tour stage victory remains a target for the future, Tudor Pro Cycling leaves the 2026 Giro d’Italia with clear signs of progress. A seventh-place finish in the General Classification, an 11th-place debut for one of the sport’s most promising young climbers, fourth in the Team Classification, and 14 top-10 stage results collectively establish a new benchmark for the Swiss squad.

Most importantly, Tudor Pro Cycling proved it can compete consistently with the best teams in the world over three demanding weeks - a significant step forward in the Team's continued growth on cycling's biggest stage.
